WIP INTRO | BITE THE HAND

BITE THE HAND: A FAMILY TRAGEDY

Genre: Erotic Horror, Gothic, Dystopian Fiction, Extreme Horror 

Status: Drafting 

Setting: The Bunker, an underground community of the last remaining human beings. Think neoclassical architecture, a lot of plush velvet and ionic columns. On top of it is the Viewing Room, a glass dome with a lounge inside; it’s the last place in the world where people can see the sun. 

Summary: 

Eleanor Bohannon-Lennox, daughter of the President of the Bunker, has a problem: her Father is a politically illiterate moron. He has just made the most destabilising decision of his entire career, and now the Bunker is developing a system of politics that he won’t be able to control. Instead of seeing the collapse of society as she knows it as a disaster, Eleanor sees it as an opportunity. She’s smarter than her father, better than him, and with some political savvy, bad morals, a subtle amount of violence, and some extreme blackmail, she’ll be able to rise to the top. Maybe, she’ll finally be able to see the sun, after being denied it so long. 

Her twin brother, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Bohannon-Lennox, doesn’t have a problem. He’s at the peak, used as a PR piece for his father - he’s in the lap of power, and he wants for nothing. At least, that’s what he’s pretty sure is his life. There’ve been whispers, about guns, and about executions, and about people starving; he doesn’t believe them, of course. His Father would never let things get so bad. 

Still, people seem to be hungry. The rich don’t like being denied their luxuries, when they’ve gotten used to it. Starvation is a killer. Deprivation is a killer. After a long enough time, even your friends start looking like meals.

writeblr intro

hi there! i introduced myself ages ago but i figured new year, new attempts to connect with the writeblr community. my name’s olly, i'm 20, and i'm usually a horror writer, but i've taken an abrupt swerve into sci fi. i'm doing a ba in liberal arts, and i watch too many movies in my spare time.

i focus on themes of gender and society, monstrousness, what makes a person cruel, religion, prophets, communism and, most importantly of all, cannibalism.

if you're a writeblr who enjoys:

gross women doing gross shit

gratuitous gore and dark comedy levels of violence

dark sci fi, cyberpunk, dieselpunk, noir, lgbt+ horror

stories about fucked up familial structures

nuns

transhumanism and body horror

and more!

i'm very interested in making writer friends, beta reading, sharing extracts and all that.
